It is indeed a Beaufighter, just off the top of my head it was an attempt to cure the directional instability of the early versions, leading to the (IIRC) dihedral tailplane.

You were close Dave but Keith has it with the Beaufighter.

Lefty was being a bit modest here...
I think there was a problem with the early Beau's, hence the later dihedral tail planes, but had not realized there was this experimental version.
Anyhow, try this one.

Hmm it certainly looks Russian! They certainly have this fascination with multi-glazed noses...
Must be the Kamov AK (1943)

Well, since we're on a rotary-wing theme, here's a significant one from a technological standpoint

An other simple one. A hint: It is not one of those things you use to open a botle of wine.....
Success,

Flettner Fl.185 prototype?
Its indeed the Flettner Fl.185 prototype. I knew it was an easy one, but I just liked the picture
Your turn again

Let's step away from the veggie slicers. Here is a pleasing little sport plane of the early 1930's.
Hmmmm........ German?
That's also what I think....Albatros?Originally Posted by lefty

Yes, it is German.
It does have an Albatros looking tail but it is not.
This outfit didn't produce many planes. They mostly built sub-assemblies for other larger companies like Messerschmitt etc.
Here are more views. No pants!
Erla 5a, possibly ?
Possibly, and yes.
Do your worst!
(The only reason I put 'possibly' in is that the Forum Gestapo get all shirty if you post fewer than the regulation number of characters...........God knows why....)
What's this warrior ?
I'm pretty sure this is a Renard R.S.V. 22/230 "Titan" of 1929 from Belgium.(The only reason I put 'possibly' in is that the Forum Gestapo get all shirty if you post fewer than the regulation number of characters...
What's this warrior ?

PS By the way quite a nice pic!
There's a man who knows his RSV's......over to BG.
Incidentally, BG. I was nosing around Arezzo on Google Earth - came across a small airstrip with this tucked away in the corner. A Fiat G.91 ??? Maybe a little hobby of yours ??
